COMBINED HOSE-PIPE NOZZLE AND SPRAYING DEVICE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 603,750, dated May 10, 1898. Application fil d October 15,1897. Serial No. 655,358. (In model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM P. WILsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Trenton, in the county of Mercer and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Hose-Pipe Nozzle and Spraying Device; andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to an improvement in a combined hose-pipe nozzle and spraying device, and it is embodied in the construction hereinafter described, and definitely pointed out in the claims.

The object of the invention is the provision of a device of the character above indicated with which a variety of streams or sprays of water can be secured at the will of the operator.

For convenience of illustration I have shown in the accompanying drawings one form of the invention which is adapted to accomplish the purposes designed.

.In the drawings, Figure l is an elevation, partly in section; and Fig. 2, a slightly-modified form.

A designates a coupling-nipple of any desired or approved form adapted to receive the end of a hose.

B designates the nipple-carrying section, which is secured in the coupling 0. From this latter coupling, in alinement with the section B, but of smaller diameter than the same, leads the pipe D, having a suitable cock E therein.

At the end of the pipe D is arrangedan injector F, extending forward and incased in a coupling G. The end of the coupling G is slightly reduced and is provided with a removable nozzle end I-I, of a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the injector.

Leading from the coupling 0 into the coupling G is a by-pass or branch J, having a cock K therein, the discharge end of the'pipe being located at or near the inner end of the coupling G.

L designates an air-inlet nipple communicating with the by-pass and governed by a suitable cock M.

In Fig. 2 I have shown a construction in all respects similar to that shown in Fig. 1, with the exception that I have provided the section 0 with a three-way valve or cock instead of equipping the two sections with independent cocks.

In operation when it is desired to secure a spray of considerable force both the valves E and K are opened. If it is desired to secure a direct stream, the valve K is closed and the valve E is opened. Should it be desired to break up the direct stream from the injectornozzle, it is only necessary to open the airvalve M. When a solid stream is desired, it is necessary to remove the end H, so as to destroy the injector principle of the injectornozzle. 7

By the above-described construction it will be seen that a very efficient device is provided for use in connection with fire or other hose where a spray is required either at a remote or near-by point.

I am aware that various modifications can be made to substitute for those herein described without .departing from the nature and principle of my invention.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-

1. Ina combined nozzle and spraying de- Vice, the combination with a pipe-section, of a main delivery-pipe, an injecting-nozzle at the end thereof, a coupling surrounding the injector-nozzle, a by-pass extending from the pipe to the coupling, Valves for controlling the by-pass and delivery-pipe, and a removable discharge end on the coupling, substantially as described.

2. In combination with a pipe-section, of a delivery-section leading therefrom of smaller diameter, an injector at the end of the delivery-section, a by-pass extending from the pipe-section .to a point adjacent to the injector, a casing for the injector into which the by-pass leads, an air-inlet for the by-pass, a-

removable discharge end in advance of the injector, and a valve for controlling the airinlet, by-pass, and the main deliverysection, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

- WILLIAM P. WILSON.
